Choosing the right place to site your Finia water feature
container is important, think about the backdrop, do you need
space behind it to put pot plants?
Adding Low voltage lights can also produce a spectacular effect
at night.

Make sure the hole is level and at the right depth can save
a lot of time putting the Finia in and out of the hole. |
|
If the total weight of the feature exceeds 150kg, think about
soil structure, will it subside over time? If you think it
will add a suitable concrete base, this will save you having
to re-level at a future date. |
|
After smoothing out the concrete put the Finia in and make
sure it is level before the cement sets. |
|
After the concrete has set, back fill around the Finia base
with soil. If the feature is over 250kg soil can be pushed
into the 'fins' for additional support. For really heavy features
see the Finia Moulds section for 'concreting fins'. |
|
The Finia fins for additional support being made of 100% recycled
MDPE are flexible and can be lifted to gain access to the
pump for maintenance. |
|
When the lid is in place your chosen feature can be assembled
on top. After positioning your chosen water feature turn on
the pump and check the height of the water, if it too high
the water will splash outside the Finia and the pump will
run dry quickly. |
|
Make sure all electrical cables are adequately protected,
connections are water proof and the whole electrical installation
is safe. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. Plant
round the back of the feature and add decorative stones to
to hide the remainder of the Finia. |
